This is a picture of the respiratory process. It shows how we breathe air!
In the respiratory process oxygen starts out coming in your nose or mouth then it goes down your nasal cavity, then the larynx, then into the trachea then into your lungs where it is transferred throughout your body. Then carbon dioxide and water is filtered out of your body and replaced with oxygen.
The main organs of the respiratory system are the lungs.
HOW DO YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR LUNGS? DON’T SMOKE! Your lungs will get very harmed if you do! That can cause cancer and emphysema (when the tissues in your lungs get destroyed). DON’T GO TO A PLACE WITH LOTS OF POLLUTION!!! Breathing in pollution is horrible for your lungs. TRY TO BREATHE THROUGH YOUR NOSE!! The air you breathe is warmer when it goes through your nose. Nose hairs also keep out germs.
This is a picture of lungs with cancer due to smoking.
If you smoke then your lungs could end up looking like this. Not only your lungs but everyone you are smoking around could get lung cancer from second hand smoke.
The walls of the alveoli are very thin! This is helpful so materials easily pass through them. After the air, oxygen enters the alveolus, and into the blood! After,
carbon dioxide and water are able to go through and into the alveoli, from the blood! That is what the "gas exchange" is!
